    I haven’t released a new video course in nearly two years, and I’m *so* excited to share this one with you.

    Hand Lettering 101 is a brand-new online course that’s unfolding week by week through the summer of 2025. It’s designed to help you build a strong foundation in hand lettering—without overwhelm, and with a community alongside you.

    Each Wednesday, a new video lesson is released (with a short pause around July 4th). The course started today—June 18th—but you can jump in whenever! You’ll receive reminders as new lessons drop and can attend optional live Zoom discussions to ask questions, reflect, and share your work.

    What You’ll Learn

    The goal of this course is to build your confidence in designing and creating impactful hand lettering. By the last lesson, you’ll be able to:

    • Understand lettering anatomy and terminology
    • Create block and script letterforms
    • Refine spacing, kerning, and layout
    • Add artistic effects like ombré, flourishes, and 3D
    • Design your own complete hand-lettered piece

    Each lesson includes several videos, homework, and quizzes to help you apply what you’ve learned. Because we’re learning together, you’ll have access to a private Discord space where students can connect and share work.

    Why I Created This Course

    Hand lettering is one of my favorite ways to relax, focus, and make something meaningful. But I know starting out can be intimidating—there are so many styles and tools to choose from! This course is my way of helping you cut through the noise and start a lettering practice that feels personal, doable, and creatively fulfilling.

    You don’t need fancy supplies to start—just basics like a pen, some paper, and a willingness to try.

    How to Join the Course

    Hand Lettering 101 is available exclusively to TPK Premium and Premium Plus members through August 12, 2025. If you’re already a member, you can find the course under the Video Courses tab in your account.

    I know that summer is a whirlwind of activities—trust me, I’ve got little kids who are in all the camps. With that in mind, this course was designed to support you. Follow along as the lessons drop, participate in the lesson discussions if you want to, and contribute to Discord once in a while. I suspect you’ll be glad that you made a bit of time during this busy season to learn the art of beautiful lettering!

    See you in the course,
